crying through nap time

Put lo down for nap again since she's been fussing for a nap and everything else. Didn't take a nap an hour ago when she started doing this. She's crying/fussing after crawling away from me, crying when I give her toys to play with, crying when I try to stand her (which has been her recent fav), crying when she's near me, crying when I lie her down to drink bottle or try to feed her while holding her. I've gave her Tylenol an hour or two ago. Not sure what else to do with her, but let her cry. She'll stop for 10-15min then start fussing again. I'm watching two other kids, so I can't leave until after pediatrician office is closed. She's just seems extremely fussy the last couple of days.. She doesn't even act like that when she's teething. It's really affecting my mood towards everything else...it probably doesn't help I just started my third trimester. I don't really get mood swings, but these kids are getting to me. I'm about ready to tell my sis, screw you I don't want to do this anymore. It may not help much with my kid, but at least she'll be away from my sis' fit throwers.

18mo screaming temper tantrums and diaper stripping... 4yo doesn't listen much, climbs on things she knows she's not supposed to, and does things just to ask "are you mad at me?" while grinning. Both kids are loud in general. Lo has gotten used to 18mo screeching for the most part, but it has seemed to make her louder and fussier as a consequence. She used to be a lot quieter, even when she cried.

What a nightmare, it might be a good idea to ask your sister to find alternate child care for a few months. Sounds very stressful, and even though your sister might be upset, both you and her kids might be better off. :-(
